Triumphs of the Cross

The cross upon which the crucified Redeemer suffered and died was placed on Golgotha, or Calvary, the place of a skull, so named from the sufferings and tortures of the wretched malefactors who were there crucified.

The gospel, with its plan of salvation, is based on human depravity. When this lost and ruined state is fully recognized in us and understood by us, then we can rightly appreciate the gospel message that comes to us through the cross, ever pointing heavenward to the Paradise of Saints; even to the throne of God. Between earth and Paradise, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, hung in agonies unutterable, and by His death He triumphed over sin, suffering, sorrow, and even death.
